Komnas Ham's Human Rights Jurisdiction Over Businesses Involved In The Haze Crisis, Iman Prinhandono, Nadirsyah Hosen, Kelly Boom
Indonesia Law Review
Indonesia’s forest fires have caused a serious haze problem nationally and in the Southeast Asian region, which has caused harm to the rights to life, health and a healthy environment, work, education, and many others. The forest fires largely stem from harmful slash-and-burn methods of land clearing, done at large scales by corporations. Judicial mechanisms have proven ineffective to deter violating corporations and bring justice to victims. From a legal standpoint, Komnas HAM’s quasi-jurisdictional powers allow it to act as a non-judicial grievance mechanism for victims in the haze crisis and against violating corporations. However, issues with the non-binding nature …

Brownfields Cleanup: A Look Back And Ahead Toward Superfund Authority, Clifford Villa
Faculty Scholarship
Did you know that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, through the Superfund program within each of the ten regional offices across the United States, has millions of dollars to spend each year for cleaning up contaminated sites that are not designated “Superfund” sites? Not many people seem to know that, even lawyers who practice in environmental law, or even law professors who teach it. If these elite folks do not know that, then how would ordinary community members know that, people with busy lives who don’t do Superfund for a living? The short answer is, they probably don’t know either.

Intergenerational Environmental Justice And The Climate Crisis: Thinking With And Beyond The Charter, Dayna Scott, Garance Malivel
Articles & Book Chapters
Inspired by the analysis developed in the article “Coming of Age in a Warming World: The Charter’s Section 15 Equality Guarantee and Youth-Led Climate Litigation,” by Nathalie Chalifour, Jessica Earle, and Laura Macintyre, this commentary explores the concept of intergenerational environmental justice in the climate crisis. Our central contribution is to advance a relational conception of intergenerational environmental justice, which we argue can overcome some common objections to thinking about justice and rights in “generational” terms. This analysis supports climate litigation efforts on Charter grounds, best conceived in our view as discrimination against young and future generations. Yet it also …

The Biden administration is currently seeking to bolster the federal government’s role in addressing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, which is currently the largest source of these pollutants in the country. Federal fuel economy and vehicle emissions standards will thus be crucial tools in addressing climate change as well as improving the health of millions of Americans who are exposed to toxic tailpipe pollutants.
In addition to reducing pollution, these efforts can also save consumers money at the pump. Economists have long observed that consumers do not always select vehicles that will save them …
